Wee dishes of feta cheese, ready for the freezer
After learning how to make Feta cheese, I doubt I'll ever buy it again. It is EASY, although it is one of those projects that takes a bit of your attention from time to time, so you're pretty much tied to the house for 9 or 10 hours. This is a project I like to start at 11 AM or noon, for I like to go to bed before midnight.
I was nearly out of Feta, having only one little dish remaining, which I was planning to use on a pizza. So it was time to make Feta again!

I learned how to make Feta cheese from Keila on 'How To With Keila' on YouTube. Watch the video and enjoy. You'll learn how to make Feta cheese and save yourself a lot of money and have fun doing it!

The cheese is crumbling but moist
I then divide this among 6 little sundae dishes
Ready for the freezer
I then put a large (2 gal.) Ziploc bag around this whole tray of cheese dishes and set it in the freezer. As I need to use one, I take one dish out and set it in a sandwich baggie, placing it on its side in the refrigerator (so it can drain even more as it thaws). When I'm ready to use it, I pour off any drained whey and I've got a wonderful, crumbly Feta for salads or pizza. YUM
Last March I wrote a post (with pictures) on my first experience with making Feta cheese! You might enjoy looking at it.
Come on, you know you want to try it!! Be sure to let me know if you do. :-)

WOW! that is incredible. I am going to watch this process later today after work. I want to see how you do this. I'm amazed.
I've made fresh mozzarella too, but that was a wash, as far as cost to buy vs. cost to make. FETA, on the other hand, is SO much cheaper to make than to buy.
Oh wow! What a fun, tasty project!
I love feta, now I just think that I will try my hand at making it. Freshly made instead of store bought is always so rewarding.
That is so cool! I never really thought about making cheese myself, but would like to try this. I hope you are doing well! Have a great day!

We are about to venture into the art of cheesemaking. I bought my brother(the older one) a book on making cheese for Christmas. We are gathering supplies right not and as his birthday is right around the corner, I will buy him more supplies! We are really looking forward to it! :) I think our first batch might be mascarpone or ricotta.
Oh, wow! I never even thought about making it. Very cool project!
That seems like a good thing! Especially the saving money part! Unfortunately I don't care for Feta cheese. How horrible, right? Enjoy your day!
wow...that is so impressive! I am lactose intolerant so I don't think I'll give it a whirl, but it is impressive. =)
I looooove feta! I would love to make my own. I am pinning this one!! Would love it if you would stop by and share this at my linky party going on right now :) http://everything-underthemoon.blogspot.com/2012/01/bedazzle-me-monday-15.html
Have a great week!!
This is so impressive! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh, you KNOW I want to try it! I just need the time to devote to it where I can work around the house ....
I've been wanting to try this since I saw your post last year.. maybe this is the sign that I really need to try it this time!!!
This looks so great!!! I'm going to go ahead and move it to the cooking/baking linky section. Thanks so much for linking to my party!!!
